Chicken and eggs are about to be very expensive and hard to get. DO not say I didn't warn you guys months ago to get prepared. 🦤🦠🚨

Workplaces require safety training for everything except the air we breathe.

Imagine a basic COVID awareness quiz:

Q1: Is COVID airborne?
Q2: Do masks work?
Q3: Can you get Long Covid?

Too much, or just about right? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Continental influx and pervasive matrilocality in Iron Age Britain - Nature An analysis of ancient mitochondrial and nuclear DNA shows evidence of matrilocal communities in Iron Age Britain.

This is the exciting paper drop. New aDNA science out of Dublin.

Matrilineal descent systems demonstrated for Late Iron Age Dorset.

Building on the work of Mel Giles (2012) who first spotted the potential for it in the archaeology of Middle Iron Age Yorkshire.

When I first became aware of this through #Watchmen, I (like many people I suspect) thought it was fiction. It beggars belief that the Tulsa massacre is still not included in US history classes.

$1,131,794,901

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Getting increasingly irritated by publications without BlueSky as a sharing option, especially if X is there. I'm trying to promote your article on a site that actually allows people to see it. Help me help you man.

Love the Aura for flying. I generally use the valved version, especially for long flights.

5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Many don’t want to talk about COVID and it’s understandable. We all want the Pandemic to be over, no one wants to think about the possibility of organ damage and long covid. Hardly nice conversation to talk about. If we don’t talk and act we are condemning the children to a future of poor health. 🧵

This is ridiculous. Hospitals going back on mask mandates due to backlash and leaving it to “personal choice”

We know all too well what “choice” people will make.

It’s a hospital. People need to ask themselves why they’re SO unwilling to wear a mask in the place the sickest people are.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.

"They showed videos of systems they built to hydrate hundreds of cattle at once. In 14-hour shifts, dairy workers pumped gallons of electrolyte-rich fluids into ailing cows through metal tubes inserted into the esophagus."

If you read one article on H5N1 this week, make it this one.

Two new studies paint a comprehensive picture of current long COVID U.S. cases.

Both suggest the condition limits daily activities for a significant proportion of those affected ...

Lolz, it's definitely intentional.

“We want her to have something which is linked to the 60,000 years of history — that unbroken connection with the human spirit which we want her to feel nurtured by."

Gisèle Pelicot story is amazing

Amazing for her strength, courage and capacity to wrest dignity from the horror

Not if the same old faces are doing it

We are still in a Pandemic

It’s year five, we are still in a Pandemic because of long covid risk.

I could not love this more.

CO2 monitors to be mandatory in all Dutch classrooms.

Despite thousands of the air quality-monitoring devices having already been installed in classrooms nationwide, some 40 percent of schools still don’t have them in all classrooms.
